Well now I'm curious. Just this weekend I had a great time texting myself with the official Python and Ruby libs from Twilio in only a few lines [1].
Sure there were rough edges like "which and how many phone numbers do I have access to" and "am I going to run out of credits and cost myself a jillion dollars accidentally" but on the whole it was a great starting experience.
Edit: I'm guessing you mean I need to build my own TwiML wrappers and scripts so that my customers can have a meaningful interaction with the computer rather than simply getting called by a useless one-line proof of concept that can't talk or listen to them?
Wait for the whole story later, but in general: what happens in terms of user experience if you input a wrong number? What happens if you input someone else's number? What happens if 4chan discovers your site and uses it to input a particular someone else's number 8,000 times? etc, etc
